We still really like this place. The burgers are good & they also have pizza & even dessert. Food 4/5 I ordered the mushroom burger combo with fries & a drink. Hubby had the cheeseburger combo with fries & drink. The burgers are really filling at 8oz & the bun doesn't disintegrate like other places. The fries were nice & crispy & plentiful. Brought in a black bowl we got them before the burgers. I asked for water as my drink & they have their own branded water bottles which I think was neat. Hubby had ginger ale. Service 5/5 I only saw two staff here but service was smooth. The staff I could see was the cook & the waitress. There was no pressure to decide quickly what to order which I appreciate. Once we ordered we got the French fries first. Then the drinks came next. While we were munching on the fries the burgers came not long after. Everything was freshly cooked. The fries were so hot I had to wait a little for it to cool down. Same with the burger. But I didn't mind because I knew it was freshly cooked. For dessert I had one sugar free baklava. Delicious & the perfect size for me. Ambiance 5/5 For a burger place this is a nice looking place. I disagree with one is the reviewers that this place is like McDonalds. There are nice banquette seating here with wooden frame tables & blueish grey upholstered chairs. There are also booths to sit at. There's acoustic music playing over the speakers also of popular classic songs. The vibe there on my opinion is classy & chill. You don't have to dress up to come here that is true. But this place is definitely nicer than McDonalds. The food is way better than McDonald's too! I've eaten here before & I would definitely come back again!
Just one word. Wow. This place was amazing! We ordered delivery and with delivery, you always decrease expectations (especially when there's bread and fries that get soggy on the way). But this place was delicious regardless. We ordered the steak poutine and gourmet cheeseburger. The steak in the poutine was cooked so perfectly, it was flavourful. And the cheese wasn't the typical nasty gummy cheese, it was high quality cheese that melts beautifully on the fries. The cheeseburger was amazing, my favorite part was the thin piece of mozzarella (you can see it in the picture, first topping within the buns). The meat was so juicy. I'm only in Toronto for a couple more weeks but I'm going to have to order again!
I was in the area and this was on my list so I had to check this place out, I recommend the Philly steak sandwich, but before you judge it was damn delicious it kinda reminds of a Wellington it's a deconstructed Philly steak sandwich, it had ribeye their special sauce mushroom mozzarella cheese. The service was quick and they're making everything from scratch, I want to try their burgers next time cuz those look pretty damn good as well, the bread was crispy and soft and the meat melts in your mouth, perfectly cooked ribeye and the sauce is to die for, it so addicting I could keep eating just the sauce. The ambiance it's nice not a fancy place which I like, more like McDonald's but food is a million times better and it's fresh, which I love no frozen meat here, if you like render meat and good sandwiches I recommend this place it's a must. Next time I come I'm gonna try their spicy mushroom cheeseburger cuz that looks awesome
I don't crave burgers often but decided to give this place a try. We shared a mushroom cheeseburger combo (drink and fries) and a philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both were amazing, packed with delicious flavor and totally sates any burger/sandwich craving. My personal favorite was the philly cheesesteak, as they take half a loaf of bread to carve out the middle and fill it to overflowing with beef, mushrooms, onions and cheese. So so good. My partner enjoyed the mushroom cheeseburger more, as it came with a lovely caramelized layer of mushrooms and cheese. We both found new favorites! Also, loved the aioli dipping sauce that came with the fries. Delish.
Absolutely crazy burgers and sandwiches! Portions are massive and packed with delicious flavour! We got the Philly steak sandwich combo and spicy mushroom cheeseburger combo. The Philly steak sandwich was packed to the brim with meat, definitely not skimping out on anything. The flavours are mouthwateringly delicious and easily fills you up. The spicy mushroom cheeseburger was equally as luxuriously decadent. The mushroom was sooooo good with the meaty patty. I ate this with a knife and fork, because I sure as hell couldn't bite this. It oozes delicious buttery grease and I love every bit of it. The fries they use looks like the same as Costco (those McCain fries) and is deep fried to the same perfection. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself near one of the few franchises around the GTA!
Back after a few years! I shared the classic cheeseburger and poutine with my brother. The cheeseburger ($11.99) has an 8oz beef patty, onion chips, and cheese (mozzarella and cheddar) topped with their special sauce. The cheeseburger was good but the patty was slightly dry. I still enjoyed the sauce, the cheesiness, and how their sauce complimented the cheeseburger without overpowering it. The bun was fluffy too. This was definitely a greasy and filling cheeseburger. The poutine ($11.49) had their "crispy coated fries" with gravy and curds of mozzarella cheese. For their fries, I am quite sure it's the same one sold at Costco - so the poutine was nothing too special but still tasted great. Because the cheeseburger is quite large (a whopping 8oz!) and the poutine was very filling, thus easily split between the both of us. A burger for one person may feel too much. We dined in and they checked both our vaccine passports. Pretty quick and nice service!
Seems like the most popular options are the philly cheesesteak sandwich and the mushroom cheeseburger, so we ordered both! The Philly cheesesteak is overflowing with meat as shown in pictures. The meat is full of flavour, and covered in melted cheese. Delicious. But let's talk about the bread- the bread is perfectly toasted, like, it's so crisp around the meat that it truly does make the meal!! The mushroom cheeseburger is also delicious, the burger patty is huge and super juicy. The mushrooms complement it. And the bread on the burger is also crisp and grilled/toasted! The only thing is that I wish the sandwich/burger had some sort of vegetable in it like lettuce/tomato, it needs something refreshing inside. But overall still a great meal!
The main thing that brought me here was all the mouthwatering photos I saw from their sandwiches on social media. And I would say the pictures don't tell lies. I came here right before Toronto entered lockdown for the second time. I was welcomed by their friendly staff and he came up with suggestions based on my preferences. I ordered "Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich" and "Guacamole Cheeseburger". The ingredients were fresh; the meat was very tender and flavorful, with the right amount of spices; the bread was toasted at the perfect time and temperature. The staff/owner thanked me for supporting them during these hard times and I believe this is our responsibility to support local businesses which definitely are struggling at these hard times. I would definitely go back for their great quality food and hospitality.
Very good cheese burger! Juicy, but the cheese has no taste. The philly cheese steak is good too but i dont taste cheese. Friendly staff.
Came on the weekend for lunch and luckily it wasn't too busy because the store has very limited seating. You basically order up at the front and they bring it out for you. I didn't like how there was a tip option on the machine as it made me feel obligated to tip, when there wasn't much service involved - other than bringing out our food when it was ready (I tipped 15% anyways). They didn't provide us any water, or check up on how our food was so I regretted tipping them 15%... I had ordered the regular Philly cheesesteak sandwich but it happened twice now that they had given me the "modified" version, in which comes with chopped bell peppers. I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers so that's why I ordered the regular one that doesn't come with it. I don't understand why the lady had punched in the modified one when I didn't mention I wanted that one, and stated I just wanted the normal regular one. Since this happened twice, I feel like they automatically give you the modified sandwich as it is more expensive than the regular one. I should've paid attention when paying for it, had I known she charged me more than the regular sandwich. Despite all that, the sandwich itself is very large so come with a big appetite! Or share with another person if you're not too hungry. The breading is nice and crisp but it can get a bit chewy after a few bites. The meat itself is cooked tenderly but after eating half the sandwich, the grease got to me and I couldn't finish and had to take it home. We also ordered their fries and it came with a creamy sauce that was quite delicious! I'd definitely order that again, if I come back in the future. However, after not getting my sandwich right twice in a row, I'm probably not going to frequent here too often.
Yummmmmmmmmmmy! The mushroom cheeseburgers and the steak poutine were all on point. You can taste every bite of the beef patty and the steak on the poutine. A hidden gem I didn't expext to find. The wait was about 15 mins. Warning: very keep you very very full and I will come again.
Tonight was perhaps the fourth or fifth time I've visited Grill Gate. I like their Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. Last time I came, after ordering I told the young lady at the window I'd wait in my car, which was parked right in front of the store window. Within short order she knocked on my car window and handed me the bag with my sandwich in it. This time, I did the same thing. Parked in the same spot, and told the young woman (a different one, not nearly as polite or forthcoming) I'd wait in my car. I settled in and started reading my book. After a while, I realized I still didn't have my order. I pulled out my ticket to check on what time I had ordered: it had been nearly half an hour! I went in and said to the woman I thought she had said 15 minutes. She turned around picked up my bag and said yes, it's ready. I asked why she hadn't brought it out to me; "we're busy" she replied. "Well, thank you," I said. "You're welcome," she replied. I left the bag, said "you keep it!" and left. After leaving the parking lot, I regretted having left it that way. I drove around the block and back to the store. They saw me pull up, and another woman brought my bag to the door. I told her I didn't want it. I went to the order window and asked for a refund, which I got. I won't be darkening their doorstep again. I drove to the next block, where there's a very nice Vietnamese restaurant, and got a terrific grilled chicken, spring roll and minced shrimp, on vermicelli. Healthier, and less expensive. Plus, they gave me an extra spring roll. Goodbye Grill Gate: I've seen many restaurants come and go in that spot. If you keep staff like that snide girl, you won't last long either.
I went with a couple of friends from work for lunch at Grill Gate, based on a recommendation from another coworker. It's a little further away from the office than we normally go, but traffic was light so it only took ten minutes or so to get there. Upon arriving, we were happy to see it wasn't too busy, so we got a table right away. We were looking at the menu but couldn't decide what to order. I checked out some photos on Yelp and immediately, my mouth started watering from seeing all the amazing food! The burgers looked incredible, but I decided to go with their most popular item, the Philly cheesesteak. I'm trying to cut out carbs, so I asked if I could just have it without bread. They offered to put it in a lettuce wrap instead. Bonus points! When our food came out, I couldn't wait to dig in! It smelled even better than it looked! My two friends both ordered burgers. One had a mushroom cheeseburger and the other went with the eggplant cheeseburger. Both looked so good, I almost regretted my choice. But then I took my first taste and I was definitely happy with my order. The meat was seasoned very well and it was very cheesy and delicious. Yum!! We had a poutine to share, but I just had a small bite. So good!! I will definitely come back to eat here. Super friendly staff and fantastic food. What more can you ask for?
I love this spot. They make a delicious burger and have an awesome Philly Cheesesteak! I love the hollowed out bun they use for the Philly and the Spicy Cheeseburger is out of this world. Be sure to get your hands on those fries with their special sauce too. Omnomnom This spot is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood food scene and I recommend you check it out ASAP read more

I ordered the philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was delicious. I would say more "Tehran" than philly as i over heard the owners mentioning that they are from Iran and i could taste the Persian influence on this take of the traditional philly cheesesteak. However I should have got it with the fries as I had scarfed thru the sandwich really really fast. Was leaving the place a bit hungry. As meaty as it is- it did not fill me up. As I was leaving and went to counter to grab some napkins. The owner remarked that he has an extra cheeseburger and if any one would like it- I instantly volunteered for this task. How in a second I went from craving more food to having more food than I need is the magic of luck and fortune. The burger was marvelous. I could feel the butter from the amazing bun. I could tell the beef patties were made in house because once again that Persian kebab flavor changed the taste of the meat completely compared to generic burgers. I will go back there to try the spicy cheeseburger. Good stuff- and the sauce on the fries looked amazing. I need to try those too. read more

A great and affordable burger place in North York? That's unheard of! Majority of the well known burger joints are located downtown and so when I heard about this place opening outside of Sheppard West station, it was a surprise. On top of that, the ratings of this place made me really curious to see its 5 star worthiness. Greeted right when we went in, my sister and I opted for the student special (crispy coated fries with a drink plus a gourmet cheezeburger for 3.49 extra) with a mushroom cheezeburger (he didn't charge us extra for it). The burger and fries came beautifully on a cutting board, presentation was beyond my expectations from a burger place. The fries were amazing, they tasted similar to Cosco fries and the special sauce was unique & delicious! The cheeseburger was really fresh, the patty was well cooked & the mushrooms complemented it. It was also less messy to eat as well. To add, service was top notch. All in all, I'm glad this place opened and I can't wait to come back!!!! You should definitely check it out, it'll be worth your buck as it's cheaper than many burger places & it comes with awesome service! read more

Philly Steak Sandwich - 5/5 Delicious Sandwich, its a middle eastern twist on the philly steak sandwich and it's awesome. The bread is very tasty and is hallowed out to fit all the sandwich fillings. It comes with mushrooms, onions, cheese and a great garlic sauce drizzled on top. This is a must try! Gourmet Cheeseburger - 4/5 A good burger with cheese, onion chips and a garlic sauce on top however it was a bit bland. Still tasty but was a bit bland in flavours. Gourmet Guacamole Burger - 4/5 This is just the gourmet Cheeseburger however with guacamole on top. This was tasty however again it was a bit bland, could use some more flavour, perhaps other condiments like hot sauce, lettuce tomatoes etc. Fries - 5/5 Great crispy fries. Served with a garlic sauce. If you like Costco fries you'll definitely like these, they're very similar. Tip: Use SPC for 10% Off read more

Delicious! But expected more fries for that price. That's my only wish. We got the Beirut burger and Philly cheesesteak sandwich, with crispy coated fries read more
Amazing. I'm so glad this place opened up near where I live. My husband and I went on a Monday evening and it was busy, but we got amazing service and incredible food. You have to try this spot! We ordered the mushroom cheeseburger and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, as well as a side of crispy fries. Everything was so good. The meat on the Philly cheesesteak was so juicy, it dripped into the bun sesame bun perfectly and has a delicious middle eastern sauce in it (like tzaziki. The burger was also delicious, perfectly cooked. And the fries were crispy....like Costco fries! All incredible. Oh and the prices were cheap! $9 for each item (fries were $3.50 with a combo). I'll definitely make this spot a regular visit. read more

Great tasting burgers and fries! The fries were so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Special sauce was tasty. The cheese burger was gooey with cheese and loaded with good flavoured meat. The only negative was the poutine. It was soggy and the gravy is mediocre and not enough cheese. Sogginess was possibly due to the fact that we did take out but still not amazing tasting either. read more

Hands down the best place to eat in the downsview area. You gotta try the: *Philly cheese steak sandwich - lived up to the hype! *Gourment Mushroom burger- i love love LOVE those crunchy onion bits under the burger patty. If you're not getting the philly steak sandwich get the philly steak fries. Don't judge Grill Gate based on the appearance of their neighbours. It's a nice place to swing by and grab some good grub after a long shift. You know when you eat something so good you can't stop smiling and nodding?! Yup that's what grill gate will do to you. The staff was super friendly. And for my lazy friends - you can order them on skip the dishes. See you there! read more

I stumbled on this restaurant on the way home and I was amazed with the food. I ordered the spicy cheese burger (around 10 dollars) and made it into a combo (2.99). The burger was really good, had a mix of cheeses, house sauce and a grilled jalapeño;it was delicious! The fries were crispy and soft on the inside; came with their home sauce. It was better than Mcdonalds fries! I finished with a bottle of water :). I will come back again to try their other menu options. You can tell that a lot of love and effort goes towards their burgers. read more

Sheppard Ave location is in a tiny plaza with a laundromat and other small shops. When we walked in, the first thing we noticed was the smell. Not a delicious aroma of food, but rather an odor of grime. We quickly ordered one cheesesteak, to go, and I went to the washroom downstairs. It was so gross. The smell was even stronger once the door was opened and the basement was dark. I got to the washroom where the paint was old and covered in dirt, the floors were filthy and the sink had actually hairs on it. There were footprints on the walls! I went back upstairs and wanted to order a side of onion rings, but the Employees were chatting amongst themselves. The only attention I finally got was when one girl looked up from her phone and realized my cheesesteak was ready. She bagged it up and handed it to me without even looking at me. Overall the sandwich was fine, but not remarkable. The service and atmosphere was so bad, I wouldn't go back even if was my favorite meal. read more

Cozy, casual place on a convenient area, near Sheppard west subway station, seems like a family owned business, very good service, the taste is amazing. It's first time a try a Philysteak sandwich and It was the best sandwich I've ever had in the city, meat is incredibly tender and the magic sauce they put on makes everything taste perfect. Fries are crispy and the sauce with that sparkle of herbs, oh my god I can't describe how good it was I will definitely recommend this place and absolutely will go back to try the burgers. The cook even came to our table to ask how was our first bite. read more

Great burger place in small plaza. Crispy coated fries - Amazingly crispy fries with garlic sauce. Sooooo good!! Mushroom cheeseburger - Very decadent! Lots of cheese and mushrooms. The meat patty was nicely grilled and had very good char taste to it. The bun was fresh and lightly buttered, giving it a nice crunch. Cheese steak burger - cute little cheese steak pocket. Lots of meat and lots of cheese. Loaded burger with lots of flavour. I personally prefer the meat patty on the mushroom cheeseburger verses the cheese steak meat because it had a better smokey meaty flavour to it. Parking it available in front of the store. They also had a combo option. Burger + fries and you especially get a free can of pop. read more

Stop in here for my lunch break. Its a very small resto in a small plaza. But upon walking in, I was greeted with a very warm environment. I could tell the workers there really work hard and are doing their best to win customers. I had the spicy burger and it was outstanding. 5 out of 5. Fries were from costco but dat white sauce on top elevates it. Love the food here so much. Will be back! 5 stars ***** read more

solid mushroom burger with okay fries . Price point is perfect but I felt like the patty should have been juicier. Service is top notch and it's a nice simple vibe in there. I wasn't a big fan of the sauce on the fries and these were the cheaper Costco fries but nonetheless with the burger I had no probs finishing it. Will come back to try the steak! read more

My husband and I tried Road Grills food truck a while back and we're so excited to see their new Restaurant in our hood called Grill Gate. We tried the mushroom cheeseburger and Philly cheesesteak for dinner and can I say, this meal was an 11/10. The burger was huge, perfectly cooked and had so much flavour, and to top this amazingness off was next level garlic tzaziki which made my tastebuds go wild!! The Philly cheesesteak was packed into a big 1/2 crescent delicious bread. Steak was cooked perfectly and the juicies all melted into the bread which was SOO GOOD!!!! The service was also exceptional, they were so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back for more, so happy Grill Gate is open!!! read more
